Chapter 135: The Emperor's Secret Order; Running Day and Night! [Subscribe]

Having said that, Commander Wang still spoke:

"Don't worry, I will personally report the merits of Tang Fuyin to the Crown Prince. His Majesty is also aware of this matter."

"What did His Majesty say?"

Tang Fuyin asked hurriedly.

He was more concerned about the emperor's attitude towards this matter.

"The emperor has ordered us to be extremely careful and to escort the crown prince back to the capital safely. We will definitely be rewarded!" Commander Wang said.

Hearing this, Tang Fuyin felt slightly relieved.

It seems that the emperor has approved of the prince.

However, Tang Fuyin was not good at planning and arranging strategies to fight the enemy. He thought that the suggestion made by Commander Wang was not a problem, so he said:

"In that case, let's proceed according to Commander Wang's plan."

"The respectful abbot of Shaolin Temple, judging by the time, we should be arriving at Kaifeng Prefecture soon."

"I hope Commander Wang can finish the work at hand as soon as possible and go to Xuyi with him."

Commander Wang responded:
"It's natural."

"By the way, where is Captain Cao?"

Thinking that Commander Wang would still tell Captain Cao how to escort the prince back to the capital, he took the initiative to speak:
"Commander Wang, please follow me."

Soon.

Commander Wang met Captain Cao in a side room.

He had a map with him, and after taking it out, he whispered to Captain Cao.

At this moment, Captain Cao listened patiently, writing down every word of Commander Wang's words.

If you encounter something difficult to understand, just look in the direction Commander Wang is pointing.

More than a quarter of an hour later, seeing that Captain Cao had memorized the route, Commander Wang collected the map and left Kaifeng Prefecture.

Before leaving, he agreed that at 3 p.m., he would bring enough men and horses and rush to Xuyi with Master Gongjin.

……

……

Near noon, he arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture respectfully.

It was naturally the prefect Tang and Captain Cao who came to greet them personally.

After the meeting, there will inevitably be a round of hospitality.

During this period, the two also told Gongjin roughly about the plan to escort the prince back to the capital.

After the two of them finished speaking, Gongjin nodded slightly, as if he understood the general process.

"I wonder when Junior Brother Sanzang and others will arrive?" he asked a question.

"If it's fast, it will be tonight. If it's slow, it will be tomorrow."

Captain Cao thought for a moment and said.

Hearing this, Gongjin lowered his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

But after a moment, he didn't speak.

Time soon came to the afternoon.

Commander Wang arrived with his troops as promised.

After meeting Gongjin, the two got to know each other briefly.

Commander Wang had great respect for powerful spirit-refining realm masters like Gong Jin.

Here, Commander Wang does not bring many men, only about a dozen.

In addition to Commander Wang who has reached the perfect level of Controlling Qi, he also brought with him another person who has reached the minor level of Controlling Qi!

And three people who are half a step into the Qi Control Realm.

The others are all in the perfect Qi Yuan realm!
Coupled with respect, such a lineup can be said to be quite luxurious.

Ordinary first-rate forces are simply difficult to resist!

At 1 p.m., Commander Wang, Gong Jin and others left Kaifeng City and headed towards Huainan.

……

……

On the flat and open official road.

A horse-drawn carriage was speeding towards Kaifeng Prefecture, with smoke and dust flying on the road.

If anyone was here, they would see that the person driving the carriage was an old monk with a white beard.

In the car, Xiaolong and his companions were shaken uncomfortably. They couldn't help but look at the figure outside the car and asked:

"Master, we are in such a hurry to return to Kaifeng. Is there something wrong with Shaolin?"

As soon as he finished asking, Xiaohu's face changed and he exclaimed:
"Could it be that the Black Fox King has sneaked into Shaolin again?"

In his opinion, only such a major event would make Abbot Sanzang rush back so impatiently.

Hearing this, Abbot Sanzang shook his head and said:
"The Black Fox King did not invade Shaolin. Captain Cao came to the White Horse Temple last night and said that he was ordered by the prefect of Tang to give us an urgent mission." "Now we are going to Kaifeng Prefecture."

Abbot Sanzang's words startled Xiaolong. He asked curiously:

"What mission?"

Then he began to complain:

"It's really not nice of me that Uncle Cao came to the White Horse Temple last night and I didn't even know about it."

"By the way, what mission did father give us?"

"You'll know when you get to Kaifeng!"

Abbot Sanzang whipped the horse and said something.

……

Captain Cao’s estimate was correct.

Abbot Sanzang and others did not rush back to Kaifeng Prefecture until it was completely dark.

There was not much delay along the way.

The meal we had was the same one we had at the White Horse Temple that morning.

Hearing the noise outside, Prefect Tang and Captain Cao hurried out to greet them.

Looking at the people below, he smiled and greeted them, then led the horse down to feed and water them.

Tang Fuyin came up to him and said:
"Abbot Sanzang, you have worked hard on the journey."

"The food is ready, Xiaolong, please take everyone to have a meal."

"Okay, Father."

Xiaolong nodded and led Lin Xuan, Xiaohu and Xiaolan to the front hall.

As soon as I got here, I saw the table full of sumptuous dishes.

At that moment, they didn't say anything polite and started to eat voraciously.

I haven't eaten for a day and I'm really hungry.

Lin Xuan found that his master had not come into the house to eat, and he became a little suspicious, so Tang Fuyin prepared a place for him to eat alone.

In less than ten minutes, Lin Xuan and his three companions had finished all the food on the table.

Xiaolong burped and was about to arrange a room for everyone to rest when he saw Captain Cao walking in fully dressed.

"Uncle Cao, what are you doing?"

Seeing Captain Cao's attire, Xiaolong was very confused.

Captain Cao did not explain the reason, but directly ordered:

"Sir, after you finish your meal, get in the car quickly. We will leave the city soon."

Hearing this, Xiaohu was a little dumbfounded. He was speechless for a moment:

"Leaving the city?"

"It's so late, are you guys still going out?"

Captain Cao smiled bitterly and said:

"This is an emergency, so this is the only way."

"You can rest in the carriage tonight."

After saying this, he seemed to have something unfinished and left in a hurry.

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other.

Everyone felt that the mission here was unusual.

At this time, Xiaolan looked at everyone, smiled mysteriously, and said:
"Hey, judging from past experience, are we going to have some incredible adventures this time?"

"what is it?"

Hearing this, Xiaolong lost interest and seemed to have no interest in discussing this topic.

He simply interrupted Xiaolan and said:
"Xiao Lan, we are leaving soon. We will sleep in the car tonight. I'd better go back and get some pillows for everyone. Otherwise, it will be really uncomfortable to lie in the car."

Hearing this, Xiaohu and Xiaolan thought it was a good idea and immediately seconded the proposal:

"fair enough."

"It can make things easier..."

"Go quickly, Xiaolong."

……

Watching Xiaolong leave in a flash, Lin Xuan thought to himself:
"Brother Cao said that Tang Fuyin had sent people to invite Master Gongjin to come down the mountain. There is no trace of him in Kaifeng Prefecture now, so he must have left in advance..."

"They set off overnight. It seems that everyone is very concerned about the Crown Prince. It's no wonder. After all, the Crown Prince is the foundation of the country. If something happens to him, the court will definitely be in turmoil!"

While thinking about it.

Lin Xuan looked up and found that Abbot Sanzang and Prefect Tang were walking towards him.
